Join fellow childminders for a practical and supportive network meeting where we’ll explore the renewed Ofsted inspection framework launching in November 2025.
Building on insights from the Ofsted webinar (Renewed Inspection Framework: childminders webinar | Wed 17 Sept 2025*), this session offers space to:
- Share reflections and questions with peers
- Begin preparing for changes in practice and documentation
- Strengthen professional connections and support
Whether you’re newly registered or long-established, this is an opportunity to clarify what the changes mean for you.
